Harley Quinn: Make ‘Em Laugh #1
Harley Quinn: Make ‘Em Laugh #1 (Russell, Braga, Guerrero, Dillon) is a visual treat full of humor, overt insanity and wacky irreverence. As Gotham’s most notorious villains continue to arrive, it quickly becomes easy to see that no one can steal the show from Harley.
DetailsSHAZAM #12
SHAZAM #12 (Loveness, Peterson) is a stand alone fill-in issue that at first feels unwelcome but actually turns out to be a lovely tale in the greater story of Billy Batson.
DetailsThe Flash #755 (Williamson, Sandoval, Tarragona, Prianto) brings “Flash Age” to a rip-roaring conclusion, offering twists, turns, and one genuine shock that are sure to bring readers back for more! This is the best this title has been in ages – don’t miss out!
DetailsWonder Woman #756 (Orlando, Merino, Cifuente, Fajardo Jr.) goes a few steps beyond typical superhero punch-’em-ups by layering the drama with moral and philosophical underpinnings that have no easy answers. While not a game changer by any means, this issue definitely stands above standard superhero fare!
DetailsJustice League #46
Justice League #46 (Venditti, Xermanico): the team advances the assault on Tartarus to free Jim Corrigan, so the Spectre will once more be under control! Don’t miss out on the action!
DetailsBatman Secret Files #3
Batman Secret Files #3 is a very well done look at one faction of Batman’s villains while turning the spotlight inward at the Caped Crusader himself.
DetailsBatman #92
Batman #92 (Tynion, March) is dominantly a groundwork issue setting up later development but does feature some of the most fleshed out Punchline development to date.
DetailsCatwoman #22
Catwoman #22 (Sevenbergen, Allred, Downie) is a fun-loving and action-packed issue with moments of heart.
DetailsBirds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1
Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 (Simone, Miranda, Kalisz, Lanham) leans heavily on great characterizations for a story that knows how to have a good time, but lacks the impact necessary to elevate the series beyond casual fun.
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #6
This is a series that goes right to the heart of what Swamp Thing stands for, and while the story can feel predictable, rest assured the end we find in Swamp Thing: New Roots #6 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is something you won’t see coming. It’s a wonderful twist that will have you thinking about this book long after reading it.
DetailsBirds of Prey
Do yourself a favor and just skip Birds of Prey (Azzarello, Lupacchino). A very pretty book with no imagination and a high price tag.
DetailsTeen Titans #41 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) shows the writers of this book running on fumes, as “Djinn Wars” comes to a jaw-droppingly easy conclusion and the characters keep circling back to their inherent mistrust of Robin, who continues to be stuck in neutral right now as well, unable to admit his mistakes. A once-great book that has apparently run out of ideas, the art is stellar, but that’s about it.
